Toxic Food Syndrome Test Results

Hello- I am new. I signed up a few weeks ago and have lurked a bit.

I found out about 3-4 weeks ago that I was positive for hashimoto's. My anibodies were 236. I was told that going on a gluten-free diet could help with lowering the antibodies.

Around the same time another dr recommended I get test for toxic food syndrome. I got my results back today about the TFS and i tested positive for IgG ELISA test it was a 32. A friend that has celiac referred me to this group a while a go but when i told her the results she told me to check out this group.

Does this positive mean i may have celiac? At my gyny about 4 weeks ago she tested for celiac and i came back negative however i had been gluten-free for 5 days at that point, plus i have heard it is not 100% accurate.

I have lots of issues right now

Adrenal fatigue

hypothydroism

exessive weight gain, cannot lose weight

high BP - which amazingly was really good today and i haven't taken BP meds in a few days.

insomnia

infertility but i have a 4 year old that we conceived the first try.

I realize i'm all over the board here but does anyone have any recommendations for me? what does this positive mean?

I've never heard of toxic food syndrome and I couldn't find any reputable sources that discuss it. It sounds like one of those fad deals.

As for gluten, it could be causing you problems. Stop eating it and see if you feel better. You might also want to consider cutting out dairy and soy, at least initially, as those can cause problems as well.

it's not a diet, it's a blood test that tests over 96 food allergens. Dairy came up on my list, as well as wheat and brewers and bakers yeast. Dr said no WINE:(

Another section showed i was positive for IgG. So the bottom line is if i showed up positive for this test, what does that mean?

I've already cut gluten out and next is dairy. UGH! couldn't even have coffee this morning as all i have in the house is milk. I realize i can substitute, thank god, just haven't been to the store yet.

I just takes time to figure out what the heck you can eat and how to eat it. There is a section on here that has meal suggestions too which can be nice :) People post what they are eating for dinner for the day. Real life food ideas! Hang in there! It will get better I promise :)

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
